A file or directory is considered hidden if its base name starts with a dot
character (\fB.\fP). On operating systems which support a "hidden" file
attribute, like Windows, files with this attribute are also considered hidden.
.sp
Note that \flag{hidden} will include files and folders like \fB.git\fP
regardless of \flag{no-ignore-vcs}. To exclude such paths when using
\flag{hidden}, you must explicitly ignore them using another flag or ignore
file.

When given, filter rules from source control ignore files (e.g., \fB.gitignore\fP)
are not respected. By default, ripgrep respects \fBgit\fP's ignore rules for
automatic filtering. In some cases, it may not be desirable to respect the
source control's ignore rules and instead only respect rules in \fB.ignore\fP
or \fB.rgignore\fP.

Note that this flag does not directly affect the filtering of source control
files or folders that start with a dot (\fB.\fP), like \fB.git\fP. These are
affected by \flag{hidden} and its related flags instead.
.sp
This flag implies \flag{no-ignore-parent} for source control ignore files as
well.
